Denture Tooth Fell Out? What to Do
About this guide
This guide is designed to help patients understand common questions about dentures in plain language. It is intended as general patient education and should be read alongside advice from the dental professional responsible for your care.
Overview
A denture tooth can become detached through wear, damage, an accident or changes in the denture. Keep the tooth and any fragments and contact your dental provider.
What to know
A professional can assess whether the tooth can be replaced, whether the denture needs repair, and whether the appliance still fits correctly.
What your dental professional may consider
Do not glue the tooth back yourself. Household adhesives can interfere with repair and may introduce substances that are not intended for use in the mouth.
Practical points
If the damaged denture is sharp, unstable or causing trauma, seek professional advice before continuing to wear it.
When to seek professional advice
Contact a qualified dental professional if you have persistent pain, repeated sore areas, a denture that is consistently loose or unstable, a broken appliance, unexplained changes in your mouth, or concerns about eating or speaking. Do not attempt irreversible repairs or adjustments at home.
